“…In particular, heavy metals can be absorbed by plants and form complexes with organic macromolecules. Several authors indicated that plant fibres have a remarkable ability to bind heavy metals, in particular hemicellulose and pectin, less cellulose and lignin and the binding ability varies with the source of origin of relevant fractions (Davidson and McDonald, 1998;Sangnark and Noomhorm, 2003). Unfortunately, it was not possible to analyze the heavy metal level in the roughages, but our hypothesis is that the higher level of heavy metals with MSW induce the formation of fibre complexes, increasing the indigestible proportion of fibre.…”

the following fertiliser treatments were compared during the years 2002 and 2003 on alfalfa forage (Medicago sativa L.): compost obtained from the organic fraction of the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW); olive pomace compost (OPC); mineral fertiliser (Min). All the treatments allowed a distribution of 75kg ha -1 of P 2 O 5 . three cuttings occurred: at 168, 206 and 351 days after compost application (DAA) in 2002; 119, 152 and 320 DAA in 2003. Cumulative biomass and dry matter yields were measured during each experimental year. Furthermore, chemical composition and in vitro digestibility of dry matter (DMd), organic matter (OMd), crude protein (CPd) and NDF (NDFd) were determined. MSW treatment showed a significantly (P<0.01) higher content of ADL than OPC and Min (77.0, 66.0 and 65.0g kg -1 DM, respectively). Fertiliser treatments also affected (P<0.01) digestibility parameters. In fact, DMd and OMd values showed the same trend with lower percentages in MSW treatment than in the OPC and Min ones. the NDFd differed in all treatments having the highest value in OPC (40.1%). the results indicated that the soil distribution of organic materials offer the possibility to reduce the application of mineral fertilisers and production costs without decreasing alfalfa yield, forage chemical composition and in vitro digestibility.

“…12 -15 In recent years the possible use of micro-or nanotechnology in food research and applications has attracted much attention. Since the particle sizes of fibre materials might be related to some of their physicochemical properties, 16,17 further studies on the effects of microtechnology on the particle sizes, characteristics and physicochemical properties of dietary fibres could give useful insight to their potential applications in the food industry.…”

Effects of micronisation on the characteristics and physicochemical properties of insoluble fibres

The effects of micronisation on the characteristics and physicochemical properties of (a) an insoluble fibre-rich fraction (IFRF) prepared from orange peel and (b) cellulose were studied and compared. The results showed that micronisation techniques such as hall milling, jet milling and high-pressure micronisation could effectively (P < 0.05) reduce particle sizes to microscale, decrease the bulk density and improve the physicochemical properties (water-holding capacity, swelling capacity, oil-holding capacity, cation exchange capacity and glucose adsorption capacity) of IFRF and cellulose to different extents (up to 25-fold). After micronisation the inhibitory effects of these insoluble fibres towards alpha-amylase and pancreatic lipase were significantly increased (up to 5.8- and 7.8-fold respectively) and a redistribution of some fibre components from insoluble to soluble fractions was observed. It was concluded that these micronisation treatments, especially high-pressure micronisation, could effectively improve the functionalities of IFRF and cellulose, which might then be used as potential fibre-rich ingredients in functional food applications.

“…Many studies on dietary fiber have revealed that the components show the ability to bind numerous substances, including cholesterol and gastric juice (Jenkins et al, 1998;Jiménez-Escrig and Sánchez-Muniz, 2000;Sangnark and Noomhorm, 2003;Mai et al 2003;Correa Lima and Gomes da Silva, 2005;Rodrígez et al, 2006). Also, dietary fiber plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of diabetes, obesity, atherosclerosis, heart diseases, colon cancer and colorectal cancer (Wang et al, 2002;Ferguson and Harris, 2003;Ferguson, 2005;Figuerola et al, 2005;Nawirska and Kwasniewska, 2005).…”

It is believed that fiber-rich diet reduces the risk of certain cancers, coronary heart and other diseases. Dietary fiber (DF) is not only used for its nutritional properties, but also for its functional and technological properties. Thus, to supplement daily diet, dietary fiber should be incorporated into frequently consumed foods. Pumpkins are a good source of carotenoids, mineral salts, vitamins, and other bioactive substances, such as phenol compounds. Also the pumpkin flour could be used for food enriching as fiber supplement. In the study standard methods were applied to determine and compare the neutral dietary fiber (NDF), acid dietary fiber (ADF), acid detergent lignin (ADL) and water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) contents in pumpkins fruits flour obtained from different species and cultivars. The results imply that pumpkin fruit flour should be recommended as the component suitable for food production with high content of DF. The fiber content in the pumpkin fruit flour depends on the cultivar. The maximum insoluble fiber content (NDF, ADF, ADL) was accumulated in C. maxima 'Kroshka' pumpkin flour: 26.50%, 24.65% and 14.35%, respectively, and this cultivar is the most suitable one for enriching food with dietary fiber.
